Frequently Asked Questions

• What do dump trucks haul?

  Dump trucks are designed for the hauling and dumping of a variety of materials or items. Our rugged automatic heavy duty dump trucks are heavily used in the construction and associated industries.

  Curry Supply dump trucks feature deep open beds, ranging in sizes, specifically engineered for excavation, transportation, and dumping loads of materials and items such as move out clean-ups, construction site debris, scrap metal, paving rubble, lumber, coal, etc.

• How many tons can dump trucks haul?

  The loading capacity of a dump truck typically depends on the overall weight of the truck. Light-duty dump trucks have lower capacity and carry up to 6 or 7 tons on average, while the heavy-duty ones have the highest capacity and are used for the heaviest loads of over 20 tons.

• What are the different types of dump trucks?

  Dump trucks are available in three varieties: light duty, medium duty, or heavy duty. Below is a brief overview of the different types of dump trucks we offer:

• Is owning a dump truck profitable?

  Dump trucks are versatile in their applications which makes investing in a dump truck a worthwhile financial decision, even if you are not in the transportation business. These trucks are always in high demand for moving and hauling materials, supplies, and heavy equipment.

  Precision-engineered dump truck bodies are built to withstand years and years of hauling with optional added features. While typically associated with the construction industry, where they are mainly used for hauling and dumping construction materials such as gravel, stone, sand, asphalt, lumber, demolition waste, and debris to the job site or the demolition site, dump trucks have a potentially diverse range of other applications:

  • Dump truck rentals are in high demand among transportation and moving companies.
  • Dump trucks are instrumental in providing specialized local services such as snow removal.
  • If you are not in the construction business yourself, consider starting a long-term cooperation with local builders and contractors.
  • Landscaping suppliers rely on dump trucks to move rocks and other landscaping material to the job site and facilitate clean-up.
  • Long-term lease of your dump truck is a fail-safe way to generate income during the off-season.

  Additionally, owning your own fleet of well-designed and high-performing dump trucks can optimize your business operations by reducing possible downtime and ensuring that the hauling process is completed within the given timeframe.
